00:00 Comelec declared that Winning Beater is the MIROS system for the 2025 midterm elections.
00:07 Sandra Aguinaldo is the witness.
00:09 Without a doubt, this is the automated counting machine that the Philippines will use
00:17 for the upcoming 2025 national and local elections.
00:21 In a resolution, Comelec declared Winning Beater
00:25 is the joint venture that is being counted by the MIROS systems of South Korea.
00:30 In exchange for the government's almost Php 18 billion,
00:34 they will sell more than 100,000 automated counting machines.
00:39 The project includes a full automation system with transparency audit count or FASTRAC,
00:45 bullet box, consolidation and canvassing system server, laptop and printer,
00:51 and bullet printing, bullet paper and bullet verification.
00:55 We are unanimous. We adopted the recommendation of our special needs and awards committee.
01:00 According to Comelec's chairman,
01:02 the questions regarding the performance of these machines in the elections in Congo and Iraq
01:06 were included in the resolution before the project was given to the MIROS systems.
01:12 The group Democracy Watch said that they are responsible
01:17 for the first ever violation of the MIROS technology in 70% of voting stations in Iraq.
01:24 There was also a breakdown and technical error in 45% of the machines in Congo
01:30 that were damaged by the earthquake there.
01:34 The MIROS was able to bypass their electoral system to international standards.
01:41 Comelec said that it was included in the recommendation of the special needs and awards committee.
01:47 They received a certification from the election entities of the mentioned countries
01:53 and the leaders of the election management bodies said that their work was done well,
02:00 contrary to what was reported.
02:02 Comelec was able to save Php 800 million from the MIROS systems.
02:07 The MIROS also gave Comelec the requirements to customize the machines.
02:13 This includes the quick entry of the ballot into the machine,
02:17 the display of the summary of the votes on the screen,
02:21 and the cover on the side of the screen so that other people cannot see it,
02:26 and the separation of the ballot receipt.
02:30 The MIROS systems also have a touchscreen if necessary.
02:35 The most important feature of this is that the machine will be transmitted to all the different entities.
02:42 We no longer have a transparency server.
02:47 From the machine, the machine is transmitted to the KBP, the majority party,
02:52 the minority party, the Citizens' Arm, the Amprela, and the PPCRB.
02:57 It is sent to all.
02:58 Next, the MIROS system will choose the negotiation of their contract,
03:05 and the automation of the counting machines in South Korea will start.
03:09 But because the election management is not limited to machines,
03:14 Comelec will also address other issues such as vote buying,
03:18 voting fraud, and other irregularities.
03:22 The MIROS system is grateful to Comelec and the Special Bids and Awards Committee for their support.
03:30 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
03:36 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together!
